They feed their fish... Don't waste your time or money here! My family and I have been here several times in the past few years and enjoyed it. This past Saturday evening we decided to visit. We paid our fishing fee and found a spot. A while later the older woman, who I believe is the wife of the former owner who passed away, came around and said "oh don't be offended if someone who is in the tournament says that they want your spot. Those who are in the tournament have pick of the docks." Well the tournament is $50 to enter plus you still have to pay the regular $12 fee. First of all, I'm not paying $62 per person for catch and release! Secondly, they haven't stocked the pond in ages so even if you do enter the tournament you have a very small chance of catching a fish. When the old man was alive he would never have done this. I won't be back and I'm letting everyone know what it's like!

I went on a Thursday. 10am to 10:00pm I think was the time. $15 bucks each for adults. $7 for 4 year old. Was able to fish any where we wanted accept one reserved shead. They have lights at night. A lighted bathroom with hot and cold water. A fan. Sinks and trash cans all around the pond. Port a potty on other side. Flat all the way around. Neatly mowed and kept. Sheds and chairs all around to fish at. If you take your fish home you pay i think he said by the pound. We signed in on arriving and paid. We cought and realised 14 fish that day all the same kind and size. We saw one catfish. He was swiming along the bank under the sheds. If we had a net we could have easily picked him up. In the patking lot there is one space labeled not to park you can park any where else. Bring sun screen it is very hot. We were able to keep moving to shade. But we were the only ones there till the evening. Bring food and drinks water. They did have a couple grills at the first 2 sheds. Not sure if you had to pay to use them. I dont know if they had bate to sale or poles to rent. I brought my own so did not ask.

Had a great time had to give it 5 🌟 because the simple fact I went there so my 6 year old son could 🐈 fish and within a hour or so he caught a 18.1 pounder off a little kitty pole people couldn't believe it the fish was bigger than the pole. And I caught 2 decent size one's also. And a guy right beside me caught a 27.2 pounder and another about 20 right after.all within about a hour. And the lady who owns it is nice just be careful handling the fish she likes if you only use a net.she Love's her fish 🐟

Drove over half an hour to get there, their website and the Google listing says they’re open until 10pm, pulled up and someone who I guess works here said they close down at 6. They should really change that, and save loss of future customers.

The staff friendly and courteous. There are fishing rods, bait, fishing nets, and other items available here.

Crab Creek Catfish Pond is a great place to take your kids to get them hooked on fishing all the while a great time yourself. The price is reasonable at just $12 a person + $3 net rental. Just don't plan on going Mondays or Tuesdays. On the weekends if you stay late you may be able to take part in a pay tournament and win cash prizes. Ki

My son loved the place.He caught a large catfish! It was beautiful, but the place needs work. They had very old worn indoor couches and chairs along with some outdoor furniture. I was afraid to sit on them. They could have been infested with bugs. I sat on a park bench that I thought was clean, and I got something brown and sticky all over my shorts. There was a black trash bag with something that was obviously dead in it. The place needs to cleaned. It needs work.

Had a great time fish are plenty but just gotta fish till u catch some days are better than others. Have snack bar and drinks along with bait for fishing

Had so much fun! We didn't catch anything this time but did see several people catch some massive catfish, one of which was over 30lbs! 😁

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Crab Creek Catfish Pond❣️ We had our sons 6th birthday here and we all had a wonderful time! The pond is gorgeous and the little docks are perfect for fishing off of. Jesse the owner was more than accommodating and made sure that we all had a memorable experience. The older gentleman at the front check-in was also very kind. We will definitely be back!!

Kids had a great time but the employee refused to let my 80 year old mother-in-law use the restroom while she waited on the younger family members in our group. Come on people, we paid for four tickets and you're not going to let an elderly member of our group use the restroom because, "she doesn't have a sticker?!?!?!" Luckily, the folks in the cafe next door were more reasonable and compassionate. I highly recommend the cafe next door...

I took all four of my kids last weekend and we all had the best time. The fishing was good the place was nice and clean.the people were kind and respectful one of the best places to take your family for real family fun see you guys next weekend

We had Soooo much FUN!

Love taking my kids there!!!

There are 2 sections in this establishment and the kids had a ball in both. There were arts crafts and many other things for the kids to do. They want to go back soon and my wife enjoyed it as well. Good way to spend the day with the family.

Mean person in the lobby. The LEGO is dirty and incomplete. The sharpie is old and useless. Money making place!

Unfortunately, a rather bad situation for visitors to Hendersonville. We visited three days ago and will NEVER return. Details: 1) Was very expensive! For a couple of kids below 6, 2 grandparents and one parent (5 total): $42+change. That’s rather steep for 1.5 hours of time, considering kids run out of things to do in there. (Maybe ok for locals with annual memberships and regular use.... but as one time visitors, bad deal!) 2) While our 2 yr old kept finding things to be interested in, our 6 yr old was bored rather quickly, about 40 minutes in. Seems to be geared towards 2–5 yr olds, which is not clear as you enter. 3) Son scratched himself at center crawling through something, got a bad rash the next day. Doctors diagnosis: Hand Foot Mouth disease. Since we were at a super-clean vacation home prior and after, it is highly probable the virus was contracted there. So for us, this is a NEVER AGAIN type of deal.

Great place for kids and families with lots of hands on activities including painting, climbing and sliding, a store to "shop", bubble maker and lots more.

Fun and clean

My grandkids love this place.

Really fun place for toddlers and Kindergarten-aged kids. Somewhat boring for my 2nd and 4th graders - my mistake for not researching. Great place to easily spend 3- 4 hours!

Cute little play place not sure why it's called a museum.

Great place, our granddaughter really enjoyed it.

So much fun for the kids. They cried when we left.

World class museum in the heart of Historic Downtown Hendersonville, NC.

Not alot of stuff to do

Great family time together. All staff that was there is extremely friendly. Can't wait to go back

Catfish are big, they can be slow and not bite but they are here. Just got to wait on them. The place is nice but can be downright messy. It is nice that they have couches and chairs to sit on while waiting on the fish, with canopies and shade. Never have to bring your own seats like other places I know of. P.S. THIS PLACE CAN BE HARD TO FIND. Other than a sign that has a picture of a catfish, you wouldn't know it's here. At least I didn't. I couldn't find it the first time I came and I was using a GPS! All in all, good luck to you!

Haven't fished but it's a really nice looking place

Caught several fish 25-28 lbs. Saw a few caught bigger. Great staff

Had a great time, my first time going out there. Brought in a 20 lb flat head in a very short period of time. The business is very clean and the staff is very accommodating. Big shout-out to jesse, james, and david.

And it's only going to get better.

Great little place to spend a few hours with the little ones. Our 2 yr old had a blast moving from activity to activity. Most things are geared towards slightly older children, but still plenty to keep the little guy entertained. Staff was all very helpful and kind. Cute area to hist parties available as well.

Great place for patents and children to interact or older _1-3rd graders more independent.

Great place for small kids to play and parents can take a quick break. Highly recommended since it provides more than 2 hours of entertainment for 3 kids. It is much better than taking your kids to a movie. Usually the kids stay for at least 2 hours and I have to drag them out.

Not a good place for germaphobics, more for older elementary kids.... not enough to hold the attesting of younger children. Feel that pricing is kind of high for the quality of items they have to play with. Would be better if they had items more catered for the area. Very crowded area.

My son enjoyed this museum a lot! They’ve found the magic! It’s not a fancy place, but it’s an engaging environment. Definitely worth a visit.

I was so looking forward to taking my grandchild to this "museum" because so many people had raved about it and it is a non profit supported by local businesses. Unfortunately our experience was less than desirable. There were only 2 staff members who worked the desk and no others available to keep this play areas manageable. For example, there is a nursery with baby dolls, cribs, changing table etc. but there were no babies in the room. The area where the lego cars could be assembled only had parts and no complete cars available. The market area had nothing on the shelves, there were items strewn all over the floor and in other areas. The arts and crafts area had only a few supplies left and the bathroom smelled so bad we couldn't use it. I know this was a busy day, the end of holiday season, but that should be no excuse for how bad the facility was. I will also remark that in general the hygiene of the area was less than desirable.

Took my almost 4 year old this weekend and she had a blast! We spent 4 hours here and she didn't want to leave. There are so many fun and interactive exhibits for her to play with. It's a great spot for this age group.

My two-year-old loved it here! The museum was very well maintained and the price for admission was fair. Great for a rainy day.

We are from out of town and visited during our little outting. Perfect for my 9-year-old and infant! The lego car racing is genius, and I was able to block my infant in on the floor so she could crawl around safely. It made our happy visit even better.

We reserved tickets in advance and the kids were so excited for this. Unfortunately their policies are not currently inclusive and we were turned away at the door because my severely delayed & autistic, just turned 3 year old, can’t wear a mask. Even when covid restrictions lift, we will not be patronizing this business again and will advise anyone else not to give business to this discriminatory venue.

My kids had a blast. They are taking great measures to sanitize and stop the spread of germs. Great idea! Would go back.

Super cool place. My son enjoyed it very much. Pricing is alright. Will probably return

As long as they keep the blue blocks I am very satisfied and Kellie spinks is by far the most amazing worker ever in the facility. The Gabes are pretty great to!

Wonderful place for kids to go. Worth it and the kids had a blast and learned while playing

My son loves it here, the staff is friendly as well. Lots of places to sit and for the kids to do. It's worth the $5 all day play. You can come and go without having to repay to come back.

Our granddaughter's, ages 5 and 11, have always enjoyed "Hands On" each time the visit us in Hendersonville, NC. This kid's entertainment and learning venue is always fresh and vibrant, as well as very well maintained and clean.

It's decent....kids had fun but got bored of each area quick...it was great for the experience but I will never go back!

Had so much fun here!

Fun place for the kids, while you relax. Only down fall is that you have to pay for adults, which is silly - because there really isn't anything for adults to do.

The best little hands on museum in town, where kids can explore and use their imaginations, we even have a family membership.

Great for young kids age 2-7

Such a fun and interactive place for kids and adults! Staff are attentive, caring, and fun!

Fantastic museum!!

Great and quaint, much less crowded and more affordable than Greenville's kids museum.

Entertaining great for small kids

Great place for children to explore and learn.

is fabulous

Such and enchanting little quaint museum that I enjoyed more than other bigger children’s museum out there! So hands on and experiential and feels so magical there!!
